A radical new process “vaporizes” plastic bags and bottles to help make recycled materials. American scientists say the innovative chemical procedure turns ubiquitous waste items into hydrocarbon ...

Dr. Byungwook Hwang's research team from the CCS Research Department at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has successfully developed a process that applies the circulating fluidized bed ...

A team of chemists has discovered how to transform PET plastic waste into BAETA, a material that captures CO2 with remarkable efficiency. Instead of ending up as microplastics in the environment, ...

A new chemical process can essentially vaporize plastics that dominate the waste stream today and turn them into hydrocarbon building blocks for new plastics. The catalytic process, developed at the ...

By optimizing the process for large-scale applications, the researchers aim to ensure it can handle vast quantities of plastic waste. "Our technology has the potential to significantly reduce plastic ...

The global plastic crisis has long been a ticking time bomb, but now, it seems, a revolution is underway. One company, Corsair Group International, is rewriting the narrative of waste management with ...
